5. How it Works
THE MIDAS TOUCH
ALAN DEMBY - ENTREPRENEUR, INTERNATIONAL COIN DEALER, BULLION EXPERT AND
EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN OF THE SCOIN SHOP AND THE SOUTH AFRICAN GOLD COIN EXCHANGE
(SAGCE) GIVES SOME ADVICE TO WOULD-BE GOLD INVESTORS.
GOLD IS THE ONE COMMODITY WHICH HAS BEEN TRADED FOR MORE THAN 6 000 YEARS AND
IS AS UNIVERSALLY VALUED TODAY AS IT WAS THEN. THE AGE-OLD DEMAND FOR GOLD HAS
REACHED NEW HEIGHTS IN 2013 – RECENTLY WE'VE SEEN GOOGLE’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE HAS
INVESTED IN A MULTI-MILLION POUND PROJECT TO MINE GOLD OUT OF ASTEROIDS, WHILE
ANCIENT GOLD-TRINKET RICH GRAVES IN ATHENS ARE BEING ROBBED AT AN ALARMING PACE.
6. SHARES, PROPERTY, CURRENCY AND GOLD ARE ALL SIMILAR IN THAT THEY ALL HOLD VALUE IN
THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. THE QUESTION TO ASK YOURSELF IS - ARE YOU A VALUE
COLLECTOR OR VALUE INVESTOR, A HEDGE FUND PLAYER, SPECULATOR OR HOARDER? AS THE
SAYING GOES GOLD MAY BE FOR FOOLS, BUT WITH 6 000 YEARS OF HISTORY, NO MOVING
PARTS AND THE EVER INCREASING WORLD POPULATION, IT HAS PROVEN TO OFFER RETURNS
NOT EASILY DISMISSED BY GLOBAL INVESTORS.
IT’S PROPOSED THAT YOU SHOULD PUT 10 – 15 PER CENT OF YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
INTO GOLD. TYPICALLY, PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH INVESTED IN ONE ASSET CLASS AT ANY
GIVEN TIME. CONSIDER GOLD AS AN INSURANCE POLICY WITHOUT THE NEED TO USE AN
INSURANCE COMPANY; THAT PROSPECT ALONE IS REASSURING. WITH MONEY IN THE BANK
EARNING SUCH LOW INTEREST RATES; THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF COLLECTING GOLD IS
MINIMAL TODAY.
7. Tips on how you can start your Gold
Portfolio with us.
WITH US.
1.START SMALL: WHETHER R5 000, R10 000 OR R150 000, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU CAN
AFFORD – BUT START. FROM ACORNS GROW OAK TREES.
2.START TODAY AND BUY JUST ONE ITEM - DON'T PUT ALL YOUR SPARE CASH INTO GOLD
TODAY.
3.OVER TIME YOU WILL BUY MORE AND MORE COINS AS YOU BECOME MORE COMFORTABLE
AND FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS AND YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE BENEFITS OF RAND COST
AVERAGING.
4.JUST LIKE WITH ART, BUY WHAT YOU LIKE. IF IT APPEALS TO YOU - BUY IT AND LOCK IT AWAY.
WHETHER IT’S FOR THE LILIESLEAF ANNIVERSARY, QUEEN’S DIAMOND JUBILEE, TITANIC
CENTENARY OR MANDELA MEDALLION. ALSO, DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONEY INTO ONE
SUBJECT MATTER. A BALANCED COLLECTION OF COINS IS INTERESTING TO ACCUMULATE AND
ULTIMATELY LUCRATIVE.
8. Continued…
5.BECAUSE IT'S A PROCESS AND YOU HAVE TO START NOW, MAKE A TIME TABLE WHEN YOU
WILL BUY, WHETHER IT'S TO BUY MONTHLY, QUARTERLY OR BI-ANNUALLY; THIS WILL ENSURE
YOUR COLLECTION GROWS ACCORDINGLY. BUY, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE PRICE; AS THEY SAY; JUST
DO IT.
6.SPREAD YOUR INVESTMENT BETWEEN BULLION (SUCH KRUGERRANDS WHICH ARE
REDEEMABLE WORLD-WIDE) AND COLLECTABLE COINS AND MEDALLIONS (LIMITED MINTAGE
COINS COMMEMORATING A PERSON OR EVENT SUCH AS THE OLYMPICS OR THE DIAMOND
JUBILEE) OR OTHER OLD NUMISMATIC AND RARE COINS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE ZAR COIN.
7.COLLECT WITH PURPOSE. WHETHER IT IS FOR YOUR CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN, FOR
BETTER TIMES OR WORSE OR FOR A NEW PROPERTY FURTHER DOWN THE LINE. OVER THE PAST
DECADE GOLD HAS DONE PARTICULARLY WELL HAVING QUADRUPLED IN VALUE.
9. Lastly…
BUY FOR FUN, TO COMPLETE A COLLECTION AND KNOW THAT OVER TIME IT CAN BE
CONVERTED TO MONEY IF NEED BE. IF YOU'RE BUYING WITH INTENTION OF SELLING WITHIN
THREE MONTHS AT A PROFIT, IT WON'T WORK. IN TIME AND OVER TIME YOU CAN BENEFIT
FINANCIALLY BUT EVEN COIN COLLECTIONS NEED TO COLLECT DUST, LIKE WINE BOTTLES,
BEFORE THEY REVEAL THEIR TRUE VALUE. COLLECTORS USUALLY PROFIT MORE THAN
INVESTORS – COLLECTORS' AMBITIONS ARE TO COMPLETE THEIR COLLECTIONS. INVESTORS
ONLY WANT TO MAKE A PROFIT AND WHEN THE PRICE REACHES THE TARGET, THEY USUALLY
RAISE THE BAR UNTIL THE PRICE CRASHES!
WHEN IT COMES TO GOLD I SAY 'SPREAD THE OPPORTUNITY' RATHER THAN THE RISK AS THIS
COMMODITY HAS PROVEN ITS CONTINUED WORTH SINCE THE DAWN OF HUMANITY.
